Aplastic anaemia (AA), the paradigm of bone marrow failure syndromes, is most simply defined as peripheral blood cytopenia and a hypocellular bone marrow. Parvovirus B19 (B19V) which is the best characterized amongst the four different parvoviruses infecting humans has a variety of clinical manifestations depending upon the clinical and hematological status of the host. We report a case of parvovirus B19-associated chronic aplastic anaemia in a 34-year-old female patient who presented with gum bleeding and ecchymotic patches over both legs and curdy vaginal discharge. She had pancytopenia on peripheral blood film examination and was subjected to bone marrow biopsy as the marrow aspirate showed peripheral blood only hence was not conclusive. Bone marrow biopsy was reported as AA, severe grade. The serological analysis performed later on revealed parvovirus B19 infection. Acute infection with B19V should be considered as a cause of acquired aplastic anaemia in individuals where other etiological factors are not elucidated.
